YEAR 2!!

The first year sem exams felt like a marathon. One and a half months of late nights, Hostel made Chai and what not? And here I am two months into my second year and I never thought I'd make it. I had a three week "Vaccation". Most of which was spent at home on the comp. Hours of browsing through Musicians friend and I realise it an "America & Canada" only service. Oh yeah! I'm drumming again. After a month of snooping around I finally got my "DRUMS" and I had to wait another month to get my cymbals. Its a modest 5 Piece Kit. Its got 22' x 16' kick, 12' x 10' and 13' x 11' toms
,16' x 16' floor tom and 5-1/2' x 14' snare. I bought a Ziljian pack (Planet z). I know they suck. It was'nt what i really had in mind but they where all that the music stores all around had. So screw. And once you've paid eight grand, they'll start sounding good. The shells are all in a fairly dark metallic shade of blue and the cymbals are really shiny (that wont last tho). We have plans of jamming some time soon in college. Couple guys from class and others. Oh yeah and We had an "Industrial Visit". We spent half an hour at some posh building in Kakanad (CROW LAND) and then spent two days at Munnar. Thats an "INDUSTRIAL VISIT" (apparently). And the football coaching camp starts on the day after the day college reopens. I spent a coupla days (The first three days of ONAM hols) at CHENNAI wid friends before I got home. Results will be out soon. The juniors are are waiting for me (BP GUFFAWS).OK...I gotta go have a bath now. BUBYE!

When Eventful is an understatement..

What do I do when a handful of amature Indian and International tennis players meet at My College, to play for $10,000? First I volunteer to help and after the first day of event, I get my left knee rolled, and I leave the next day with a cast from my left thigh to the left ankle. Not exactly what I had in mind for the study holidays, but I actually ended up studying. Here's how i got rolled: I had been doing a lot of running around for the college during the build up to the event; I ended up catching a really bad cold ( The Headaches came free wid it); A lot of stuff had been going on in the hostel then which involved late nights; I was recovering from a back problem etc. On top of all that I skipped breakfast on the day. So there I was walking around doing my volunteer business when MBA people ask me to help them get the court ready 'cuz Vasu (the guy in charge of maintaining the court) had gone for his cup of Chaya and with him his entire team of "Experts" ("Coolikar"). So that meant we had to clean the court and get it rolled. I helped them with the roller. There were four of us pulling the shaft. The sun was'nt really "Merciful". After a couple of laps, I blacked out. Before I hit the floor however, I came around and did a somersault and tried to roll out of the rollers way. My left knee however was'nt really very lucky. And thats how I got my cast. I'm not sure Ill play again. Exams are on their way. One almost down, three more to go.

IS dis cool or wat..?!?

THE RESULTS ARE OUT!!

Well the breaks over. Things are getting back to the way they were. The seniors are busy with exams but they do join us for a game of football every evening (Nw thts Passion). The football team in the college has some serious talent. But the teams got almost no support from the management. Until now. The college grounds are going to be weeded, levelled and finally (Hold your breath) they are going to be spreading artificial turf on the ground. Thats great news and they are even going to be building stands around the field. Sounds great right? NOPE. From what Iv heard, By the time the management brings in these changes, we'd all have grey beards , hunchbacks and dark glasses. Well the latest buzz is about some football tournament in Calicut (Thts home mind you). Well i just hope the team does well. Oh an BTW I dint flunk in any subject. Everything from a bare pass in graphics (40% ....) to a whopping 96% to electrical and everything in between (Chew on that for a while....). Signing off.
